Some while ago, we read and heard about the impending nomination of William J. Haynes to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. For a number of reasons, this seemed a questionable nomination, and I was hoping the nomination had perhaps died in committee.
Now, alas, it appears that he may in fact be nominated, and one hopes the Senate may yet act to block this nomination.
AP is reporting as follows:

My apologies if this has been diaried already. I know it was diaried at great length some while ago, by several persons, and I felt I would call attention to this, as it seems this nomination has not died.
My apologies also if this is a weak/poor diary; I felt it was newsworthy, and deserving of being pointed out.
